Apple Galette Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Galette

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 large egg yolk
• Tart Apples
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large egg, beaten

How to Make Apple Galette

1. Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in egg yolk and ice water until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
4. Form the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
5. While the dough chills, prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples into 8 wedges each.
6. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
7. Add the apple wedges and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges are lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Stir in brown sugar and nutmeg. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the apples are softened slightly but still hold their shape.
9. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
11. Carefully transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
12. Pour the apple mixture into the center of the pastry, mounding the apples slightly.
13. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as you go, leaving a 4-inch opening in the center.
14. Brush the pastry with beaten egg.
15. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
